The Narrow Gauge.

Narrow gauge was all that could be
heard on yesterday, and fair supposi-
ton is that few thought of anything
else 1t is the all absorbing topic in
this city Just now, and will be for some
days to come Mr.. Chapman told a re-
porter that he was in spondence
with his engineer, who is in the employ
Of the Santa Fe Railroad company at
present, and says he will know at once
whether he can come or not. If he
does not, the surveying corps will be
made up in Rapid City. At all events,
he proposes to have surveying party
in the field inside Of week He is as
anxious as anyone to commence the
work. 1t now transpires that the route
has been looked over, and by parties
competent to judge Of its feasibility, and
the result Of the superficial investiga-
ton is highly satisfactory. The work
of surveying will be commenced early
next week, and Will be pushed through
as fast as possible. AS soon as the line
is located graders will be put on, and
dirt will be flying in short time on the
Rapid City, Wyoming and Western rail
road.-Rapid Journal Is.

Preparing to Patent.

The Stephens Mining, Milling and
Manufacturing company is preparing to
patent its tin mining claims preparatory
to commencing the work Of producing
tin. The company owns several Of APP
parently the richest tin claims in Hill
City district. Patents on all the claims
will be applied for, and work will be
pushed right ahead on development.
There is little talk of erecting re-
duction works this year, but this has
not been settled on as yet. A 200-foot
shaft is 10 be sunk on the principal lead
to start the work oftaking out ore. The
company is said to be a strong one, with
plenty Of capital, and proposes 10 inn
prove its property SO as to render it a
source Of income.
The Harvey Peak company is getting
ready to patent some more claims, and
will soon haye applications in. The
work Of development on its property is
still going on, but there seems to be
little chance Of starting the Eta mill
during the present season. The claims
will be developed 80 as to render it
possible to run the mill next year.

Dakota Aided.

The following Washington special IL
dicates that Dakota will be ably assisted
Ia her efforts to impress the Fiftieth
congress with the paramount import
ance Of the opening of the great Sioux
reservation:
1T is becoming apparent that Dakota
will not have to fight her battle for the
opening Of the great Sioux reservation
alone in the FIftieth congress, and that
stronger forces than singleha handed
delegation in congress will come here to
urge upon the house the immediate
opening to settlement of $4,000 square
miles Of that magnificent domain. The
fact that syndicate of New Workers, of
which ex-senator John J. Herman is a
member, has turned its attention to the
great possibilities Of the new country,
and have taken steps TO be the first in
the field where new towns are to be
located, is q guarantee Of strong forces
back of the Dawes bill When introduced
next session IN the last congress were
a number of members who were inter
ested in Dakota. both financially and
otherwise, and men like VIM u. Hill
Of Ohio; Kleine, of Indiana, and Baker,
of New York, did much to agitate the
claims of the territory and to advocate
its possibilities. Itais fully expected
that not only influence but money TO
pay good attorneys to look after the bill
will be furnished next session. A par
ty who has some interest in the scheme
said to-day: st will prove much better
than any real estate speculation here in
the east and, what is better, would be a
rapidly growing investment The Sioux
bill provides that no land shall be taken
up except under the homestead act,
with a four years residence. This
would insure a permanent population
all the year round and TO supply the
various sections Of country various
small towns would spring up every
where. 1t is about 20O miles from the
Missouri river to Deadwood and two
lines of railroad have already surveyed
routes across the country, and will be
built as soon as the reservation is open
ed. One, the Chicago, Milwaukee and
st. Paul, will run from Chamberlain to
White river; the other, the Chicago and
Northwestern, will parallel the Chey
enne river from Pierre TO Deadwood.
OF course, in that stretch Of 200 miles,
large number Of little towns will spring
up on each line, some of which will
make prosperous cities. Any syndicate
which can secure the plating Of the
town sites and control OF the land will
have several fortunes in the first sales,
and they can make a great deal of
money out Of the holdings whose value
would grow with these cities. 1t would
pay any such syndicate to have control
of this land through the Indian service,
and this is what was aimed at"

The present outlook for large wheat |

The present outlook for large wheat
crop IN Dakota and Minnesota is very
flattering. The season thus far has
been unusually favorable, both in Dako-
ia and Minnesota, and material in
crease in the acreage sown is reported.
If nothing should occur to blight the
present prospect, the yield Of the two
wheat empires will doubtless exceed
chat Of any former year, and will reach
nearly, if not quite ninety million
bushels.

There is a section of the United States
law which provides that any county
wherein government land is situated,
may pre-empt, in the name of the cor
poration quarter section of land, on
which may be established the seat of
justice. A Colorado attorney named
Whittier has been investigating the
provisions of this law and concludes
that it is not necessary that the county
seat be located on the land thus pre-
empted, but that it may be used for any
county purpose, and the requirements
Of the law fulfilled. So strong is his
faith in the correctness Of this interpre-
tation that he writes Brookings county
offering to establish her claim to q
quarter section of land under this
version for $25, and if he fails he asks
nothing. If relinquishment can be
obtained at reasonable figure it might
be well for Brookings county to thus
pre-empt farm, as it can be used for a
poor farm when needed. AT any rate it
will do no harm for the commissioners to
look into the matter, and satisfy them
selves as to the merits of this PROPOSE
on.-Brookings Press.
